Airtel TO: SAC, Baltimore (58~New) FROM: pirector} fat) se-s211) 4/9 — 1- en SPIRO T. AGNEW ‘ J. WALTER JONES BRIBERY ReBAairtel 5-9~-74, which enclosed a copy of a letter from USA George Beall, Baltimore, Maryland. The letter from Mr. Beall requested information as to whether FBI files contain a report to the effect that Spiro T. Agnew, while. Vice President of the United States, accepted a cash bribe in the amount of $2,500 and thereafter placed the cash in his desk drawer. The review of Bureau indices fails to reflect any information regarding former Vice President Agnew per- taining to his acceptance of a $2,500 bribe and placing the cash in his drawer. . Bureau file captioned "Dale Anderson, County Executive, Baltimore County, Maryland; Spiro T. Agnew, Vice President, Information Concerning," Bureau file 58-8211, contains a memorandum prepared by SA J, R. Pearce dated 8-13-73, which sets forth information on page 7 that Lester Matz furnished information that in the spring of 1971, he turned over $2,500 to J. Walter Jones in Agnew's office; however, Matz could not personally recall if he gave the money to Jones in Agnew's office or in an alcove. This is the only reference to an acceptance of $2,500 by Jones and a copy of this memorandum is not only in the possession of the Balti- more Office, but is in the possession of USA Beall. Tf not already done, Baltimore should furnish the Aesoe. Dir. information to USA Beall. et iow or a Adm. — a Wr oe ‘or i, ut sage me a wy eepl Admin ft! “\ & S ‘v ' JDP :aat,' t 4" t Comp.
